For those times when you want more powerful views through your telescope, the Orion High-Power 3x 4-Element Barlow Lens will provide a convenient power boost for high magnification study of the sky.

The 1.25" 3x Orion High-Power 4-Element Barlow Lens triples the power of any 1.25" telescope eyepiece. It's an ideal accessory for high-power lunar and planetary observation, as well as lunar and planetary imaging when used with a solar system camera or webcam. Use this handy magnification-boosting Barlow for up-close views of Mars, ringed Saturn, and gigantic Jupiter, or to study craters of the Moon in exquisite detail. The extra power boost provided by this Barlow Lens is especially helpful when used with short focal length telescopes that would otherwise not be able to achieve the desired magnification with very short focal length eyepieces.

The Orion High-Power 3x Barlow features an enhanced 4-element lens design that renders exquisite images without introducing additional chromatic aberration. Images appear sharper and more color-correct than with standard, achromatic Barlows. The lens elements are fully multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings, and edge-blackened to provide maximum light throughput and optimal image contrast. The 1.25" barrel is threaded for use with Orion 1.25" filters and also glare threaded to help prevent internal reflections from reducing the brightness of your views.

The body of the Orion High-Power 1.25" 3x 4-Element Barlow is machined from solid aluminum with a grip-friendly rubber exterior. A brass compression ring secures any inserted 1.25" telescope eyepiece in place without marring or scratching the barrel, keeping your eyepieces like-new.

Get that extra boost of magnifying power without compromising performance and add the Orion High-Power 3x Barlow to your accessory arsenal.

Weighs just 6.4 oz.

Warranty

Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only. For complete warranty details contact us at 800-676-1343.

Coatings

Binocular lenses and prisms are often coated with anti-reflective material to minimize light loss as light travels through the multiple optical surfaces of a typical binocular. Coatings help maximize the amount of light transmitted through each glass surface of a binocular, so as much light as possible reaches the observer's eyes to provide a bright and sharp image.

Good lenses are at least "fully coated," with a single layer of magnesium fluoride coating applied to each air-to-glass lens surface. Multiple layers of coatings are even more effective; the term "multi-coated" means one or more air-to-glass lens surface has multiple coatings. "Fully multi-coated" optics are even better, meaning all lens surfaces have multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings applied for maximum light transmission and optimal image quality.

Compression ring

Instead of a single thumb screw locking the eyepiece in place, a brass ring compressed by a thumb screw secures the eyepiece. This spreads clamping force over a larger area of the eyepiece's barrel, which provides a better connection. The compression ring also prevents the tip of the thumb screw from producing unsightly scratches and divots on the eyepiece barrel.

This mighty 5x Barlow will easily meet the magnification demands of any telescope system. The Orion High-Power 5x 4-Element Barlow Lens quintuples the power of any 1.25" telescope eyepiece, providing far more magnification than a 2x or 3x Barlow.

Having trouble viewing details on the Moons surface? This neutral-density eyepiece filter reduces glare so you can see more detail and surface features. The 1.25" Orion 13% Transmission Moon Filter is especially useful with large aperture telescopes.

A great tool for bringing out details in the planets and Moon is this 1.25" set of four Orion Color Telescope Filters. Each colored filter brings out different details in the planets allowing for a totally different view.
